Hat-trick hero Trump beat O’Sullivan 9-7 in the final for the third year running

Northern Ireland Open Snooker returns to Belfast in 2021, and you can follow the latest results and schedule of play here.

The Northern Ireland Open runs from October 9-17 and will be the third ranking event of the season and part of the Home Nations Series.

Each player was required to win one qualifying round match in Leicester in August, with the exception of top 16 ranked players and three Northern Irish representatives – whose First Round matches have been held over to the main venue at the Waterfront Hall.

Judd Trump has dominated this event in recent years, claiming the title on three consecutive occasions, incredibly all by 9-7 scorelines over Ronnie O’Sullivan in the final.

Trump makes his return to snooker action after competing in the recent US Open Pool Championship, while O’Sullivan returns to the baize for the first time since withdrawing from the Championship League earlier this summer.

Reigning World Champion Mark Selby, Neil Robertson, Kyren Wilson, Mark Williams, John Higgins and home favourite Mark Allen are among the other big names in action.

All matches up to and including the Last 16 are to be contested over the best of seven frames, with Quarter-Finals best of nine, Semi-Finals best of 11 and the final best of 17.
